Do you agree or disagree with the following statement:
It is better to marry someone who is similar to you, rather than someone who is different from you.
Essay:
Getting married is one of the most important periods of people’s lives. Some people want to be with someone who is similar to them, while others hold the strong belief that getting married with someone who is different from them is much more reasonable. In my perspective, I prefer to get married with someone who has the same interests and characteristics to me.
First and foremost, getting married with a person who has something in common makes our marriage lives more enjoyable. In fact, I have a various kinds of interest, so I want my wife also has the same kinds of interests to me. It would be more enjoyable and more meaningful for us, when we can share something in common, such as in cuisine, listening music, and so on. She also can understand me more, since she know exactly my hobbies and favorites are.
Second, living with a person who is similar to me helps me avoiding unexpected conflicts. For example, if I am very interested in watching football, and my wife has the same interest to me, we can together watching football match in comfortable atmosphere without complaining the other. If I want to have a baby boy and a baby girl, and my wife agree with me, it would be great when we can together raising our children.
Last but not least, living with a person who is similar to me saves us a great deal of money. For instance, if I very fond of eating Chinese meals, but my wife is very interested in Italian foods, it would be very confused and hard for me, when I have to satisfy my wife’s interest. In the long run, I have to spend a lot of money for other things like apartments, cars, furniture, and so on. In this case, if my wife has different favorite to me, my family will have to waste much time and energy to argue, as well as much money to buy different things, but has the same uses.
In summary, although getting married with someone who is different from me will bring me the different perspective about marriage live, I prefer a safer and more enjoyable one that is getting married with a person who has something in common to me. My life would be easier and more meaningful if I have a wife who know and understand my fondness, who can share with me her interests and hobbies, and who can together with me raising our children.
